Hi I'm QDC.
At the time of this recording it is about to the new year 2019.
In this video I want to present several things.
One, I want to wish you a happy new year.
Two, talk about my new model kit that I am building.
Three, I want to talk about my plans for the future.
And four, and talk about a miscellaneous topic.
Let us go ahead and start.
Happy new year everyone, 2019!
I hope your goals, wishes, and ambitions will come all true in the new year.
I hope it will all come true for you.
What I am doing so far that I am going to make in my new video is this model.
I am going to build Tamiya World War One British Tank Mark 4 Male tank.
This is a motorized model kit.
It has an electric motor in it.
This is what I have done so far.
This is the kit.
It's a fun kit to build and again, it does have a motor in it.
I am going to turn it on.
I hope you can see this...there are two sprockets that are moving.
Hopefully, I get to build this and finish this soon.
What I want to do for the future for 2019 is to build more model kits.
This year, I did not build model kits as much as I wanted.
It is mainly because of my job.
My job is so demanding that when I come home from work that my mind is drained.
As a result, I find less time building model kits.
Hopefully next year I have better opportunities to build more model kits.
I like to build model kits and I like to make videos to share my hobby with you.
That is my wish for 2019....Buster!
Alright guys, this is my cat.
I hope you can see him.
You might have remember that I had another cat and he passed away.
He passed away this May.
He was a very nice cat, he was 15 years old.
I decided to get a new cat.
I got him from the animal shelter and his name is Buster.
He lives up to his name at many times.
Isn't that right Buster?
Come down stairs...OUCH!
He likes to scratch.
Where was I?
I lost my train of thought.
What I want to do for 2019 is to build more model kits and that is the bottom line.
Hopefully I will get that opportunity because I really want to.
It makes me feel happy to build model kits.
That is my 2019 wish.
This is a miscellaneous thing I want to talk to you about which is related to model kits.
I want to share with you that I just watched a very good movie and it is called "They Shall
Not Grow Old."
It was directed by Peter Jackson.
It is a World War One documentary.
Peter Jackson, if you do not know him, he is a famous director.
One of the most famous movies that he made was "The Lord of the Rings."
He was asked to use 100 year old footage from World War One and make a documentary of it
and make it as modern as possible-to make it real again.
The old footage that they had...I am sure you seen it Youtube or other media platform
where most of the scenes of soldiers moving, tanks were moving-they all look choppy.
It looks almost comic because of the technology of film back 100 years ago.
Peter Jackson took the challenge.
He slowed down the footage and make it look real.
When I watched the movie in the theater...in the United States it was only shown twice.
It was shown last week and it was shown yesterday that I attended on the 27th of December.
I was really excited about watching the movie.
I took a half a day off from work to see it because it was the only time it was going
to shown in the theaters.
Only twice in the United States as far as I know.
I was impressed with the documentary.
It looked real to me.
The soldiers were no longer bouncing around looking like comic book characters...just
jumping around as in the original footage.
They were walking very smoothly.
I saw the expressions on their faces...they look very realistic to me.
The coloring of the original black and white film so so real to me.
It no longer in my mind look comic like anymore.
When I look at World War One footage, I always seem to feel distant from reality.
It is because of the old technology of a hundred years ago.
Peter Jackson has done a marvelous job.
I felt like...it was real.
That is the best way I can describe it...it look real.
It is a great movie and hopefully it will come out on video soon.
I highly recommend everyone to watch it.
Before I go I am going to include a video slideshow of this model kit.
Also, instead of using a music that is appropriate to this tank, I am going to add an odd music.
I am a Jazz guy.
I like to hear Jazz.
I grew up listening to Jazz when I was a boy and I have not stopped listing to Jazz since.
I am going to add one of my favorite singers of Jazz in the video...It's going to be odd
but what the heck.
I am just go ahead and do it anyway.
For those of you who are who likes Jazz, I want to ask you a favor.
I am going ask you to figure out the name of this song and the woman to sang this song.
Please put you answer on the comments below.
That's it!
Again, happy new year for 2019!
I hope all of your dreams, wishes, and ambitions will come true for this upcoming new year.
I'm QDC and thanks for watching.
I know why I've waited.
Know why I've been blue.
Prayed each night for someone exactly like you.
Why do we spend money on a show or two?
No one does those love scenes exactly like you.
You make me feel so grand, I wanna hand the world to you.
You seem to understand each foolish little scheme I'm scheming and the dreams I'm dreaming.
And I know, I know why my mother taught me to be true.
She made me for someone exactly like you.

She meant me for someone.
